Abstract The Korean species of the genus Endotricha Zeller belonging to tribe Endotrichini, sub-
family Pyralinae, are reviewed. A total of seven species are recognized, including one new species,
Endotricha parki sp. nov. Photographs of adults, illustrations of genitalia of both sexes, and flight
period are provided.

Introduction
The subfamily Pyralinae belonging to family Pyralidae is divided into two tribes, the
Pyralini and Endotrichini (Shaffer & Solis, 1995; Shaffer et al. 1996; Solis & Shaffer, 1999).
Of them, the Endotrichini contains seven genera, of which Endotricha Zeller is the largest
genus with about 70 species (Solis & Shaffer, 1999). This tribe is characterized by having
the Rs anastomosed with Sc+R1 in the hindwing venation. However, the taxonomic posi-
tion of the tribe Endotrichini has been disputed by many specialists, such as Ragonot
(1891), Hampson (1896), Whalley (1961), and Minet et al (1982). In the fauna of Korea,
this tribe is represented by only one genus, Endotricha,which is mainly distributed in
Africa and Asia.
In this article, the genus Endotricha in Korea is revised. We recognize seven species from
Korea, of which one species, Endotricha parki is described as new to science. Taxonomic
descriptions for the known species are not repeated. Photographs of adults and illustrations
of genitalia are provided.

Review of Endotricha from Korea
15
Distribution. Korea (GW, GG, CB, JN).
Flight period. June to July.
Etymology. The specific name is dedicated to Prof. Kyu-Tek Park, an excellent micro-lepi-
dopterist, CIS, Kangwon National University, who kindly gave us guidance.
Remarks. This new species is similar to E. consocia (Butler) in the wing pattern. But, it
can be distinguished by the following characters: ground color reddish brown; postmedial
line of forewing parallel with termen; a wider space between ante- and postmedial lines of
hindwing. This species is also similar to E. sasakawai Yoshiyasu in the male genitalia, but
it differs from the latter by the following characters: uncus T-shaped, and longer; juxta
stumpy and bifid distally; saccular process not separated from sacculus; ostium bursae
membranous and cylindrical, with sclerotized small ring; ductus seminalis originating from
ductus bursae.

Five new species of the genus Endotricha Zeller are described from China: Endotricha dentiprocessa sp. n., Endotricha unicolor sp. n., Endotricha shafferi sp. n., Endotricha convexa sp. n. and Endotricha whalleyi sp. n. Females of three species are described for the first time: Endotricha hoenei Whalley, 1963, Endotricha luteogrisalis Hampson, 1896 and Endotricha simipunicea Wang & Li, 2005. Photographs of the adults and both male and female genitalia are provided.

The monophyly of the Pyralinae and the two tribes, Pyralini and Endotrichini, is reviewed based on an analysis of previously used morphological characters of the adult and larva. Characters previously used to define these groups are plesiomorphic (i.e., they are not valid) or highly homoplastic (i.e., they are not reliable) to support the taxa as monophyletic, or both. We describe the male genitalia and present characters to support the monophyly of the Endotrichini, but the Pyralini is likely a paraphyletic taxon. Larval characters did not provide evidence to support or reject monophyly for either group. Based on male genitalic morphology we reassign genera, and make additions or changes within these taxa in recently published checklists. In the Neotropical fauna: Perforadix Sein is transferred to the Pyraustinae and is a new synonym of Sufetula Walker; a lectotype is designated for Perforadix sacchari Sein; Micronix Amsel is transferred from the Pyralinae to the Crambinae; and Micromastra Schaus and Taboga Dyar, revised status, remain in the Pyralinae. In addition, Sufetula pygmaea Hampson, presently in the Crambidae, is transferred to the Noctuidae: Nola pygmaea Hampson (Nolinae), new combination. In the Australian fauna Macna Walker is transferred from the Pyralinae to the Chrysauginae. A list of the subfamilies and tribes of the Pyralidae worldwide and of the species of the Pyralini of the Western Hemisphere are included.
Article
The morphological evidence on the monophyly of the subfamilies of the Pyralidae sensu stricto is reviewed, and a phylogeny is proposed for the Pyralidae. New autapomorphies are proposed for the monophyly of the Phycitinae, Pyralinae and Epipaschiinae. The phylogenetic analysis supports a sister group relationship between the Phycitinae and Epipaschiinae, a sister group relationship of the Pyralinae to the phycitine + epipaschiine clade. The galleriines and chrysaugines occupy basally unresolved positions.
